About Me
First and foremost, I honor the effort and courage that it took you to get here. Seeking therapy is one of the first and hardest steps anyone can take and for that, I thank you for advocating for yourself. I know from my own life and many years of helping others that putting yourself first and asking for help can bring in a large amount of fear, doubt, and shame–but I also strongly believe in the transformative power of therapy and the many positive gradual changes it provides. I offer a safe non judgemental space where we can both explore the challenges you are facing and work through them together. My therapeutic approach includes: collaboration, open-mindedness, exploration, inclusivity, and respect. As a Bilingual therapist, I have experience working with infants, children, teens, adults, older adults (65+), LGBTQ+, and minority groups who have identified with challenges including trauma, sexual assault, family conflicts, substance abuse, child abuse, depression, mood disorders, anxiety, grief and loss, and relationship difficulties. I use a combination of practices such as EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person/Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Seeking Safety Models, Solutions-Focused and Strength-Based Approaches, along with Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy. When you are ready, I am here to help, support, and guide you into discovering your inner strengths for you to be able to thrive, grow, and live a fulfilling life. You are not alone in this journey.
